First look under the hood-discovered a weird thing

Today, when I started cleaning out the engine bay, I've discovered a weird thing. The air snorkel was CUT on the bottom side (has it "belly" open) and than ducted with duct tape...
I guess thatís something previous owner did, but why? What could that mean?

Almost looks like he was trying to clear lights or something..In any event its nothing too bad, just an intake snorkle, most people take them off anyways, sure you could score one for the cost of shipping.

no. People remove them when the do the "snorkus delete" to get more sound and never put them back. Others dont like the way it looks. Some remove it when the install an aftermarket intake. I personally like mine therefore it has remained in place.

dude... last night just before i fell asleep i was thinking about your post... and you know what that cutout could be for...?!
I think the prev owner did some drag racing... and he removed the headlight for more air flow... (and cut that out obviously)

Mine has something similar to this... but is a little hole on the opposite side of his..... looks stock, but never noticed it before (as it's real close to the airbox). Can someone go look at theirs and let me know ?
